We are an active and healthy non-smoking Canadian couple married for 20+ years. We are honest, dependable, and caring. We have lovingly raised two beautiful daughters along with dogs, cats, hamsters and lizards! We have lived in small towns and rural settings in British Columbia and big cities in Alberta and New Brunswick. We enjoy meeting new people and exploring new places while indulging our passion for architecture and art.

We are responsible and considerate of people’s personal space and lifestyle. We will always do our best to take care of pets and home in a respectful way. With our years of house and pet ownership experience, we have the skills to handle pretty well any situation that may occur.

Why we want to house sit

We prefer to travel to experience the culture of locals rather than the whirl of tourism, so caring for other people’s pets and property is a natural fit for our lifestyle.

Having a secure home base is important to us so taking care of your home and pets is both a pleasure and a commitment that we take seriously. We have enjoyed house and pet sitting for family and friends over the years. We are excited to be in the empty nester phase of our lives and have the opportunity to travel more.

Our experience

Jason has managed many different retail businesses and together we have owned a restaurant and an artisan gallery. We presently own and lease a commercial property on the Trans Canada Highway in British Columbia. Jason is a sports enthusiast who enjoys cycling and golf. He attended university in Texas, USA on a soccer scholarship and follows European football.

Liz currently owns and operates a home repair and maintenance business specifically for women and seniors. She has energy to burn, enjoys multitasking, cleanliness, going for long walks, and keeping things running smoothly and organized. Her past career was an interior designer for over two decades and she still enjoys painting a wall!

As a team, we combine our individual personalities to cover all the bases of care and maintenance of property and pets:We are animal lovers and respect the different personalities of all petsWe are competent in learning new skills and new routinesWe both have drivers licences and own vehiclesWe are clean, organized and detail orientedWe are hands on small maintenance skilledWe enjoy gardening and yard workWe are community orientated and have volunteered with service groups and soup kitchens

We travelled through Europe from mid August to Mid October of 2016. We did our first two TrustedHousesitters house sits while in Europe (loved both of them) and also joined the Airbnb network. Here are some additional comments from Airbnb hosts that we have stayed with as we enjoyed these stays along with our TrustedHousesitters pet care experiences:

Alex Airbnb in Scotland August 2016. Elizabeth and Jason only stayed in the flat for one night; but were really great guests! They are engaging and lovely people to talk to and left the flat spotless. I can't recommend them enough!Aine Airbnb in Ireland September 2016. Elizabeth and Jason make the perfect guests. From the moment they arrived till they left we all got on brilliantly. It was a pleasure to host such a fun and lovely couple and we loved showing them different places. Everything was left spotless. You would be lucky to have them stay.Sara Airbnb in Madrid Spain September 2016. Elizabeth and Jason are a great couple, there were very honest, easygoing and friendly. We almost didn’t notice they were in the house, they were so careful with everything in the house, they even washed the dishes…it was a real pleasure hosting them.Judy Airbnb in Victoria Canada November 2016. Wow – if all of our guests left the suite this clean! Liz and Jason were very personable & responsible guest. It was a pleasure to have them in our suite, and we would recommend them to any future hosts.

Elizabeth & Jason housesat for us for a three week period in November 2016. We go away every year and always have a housesitter, so we have had a lot of experience with various sitters. We were so impressed with Liz & Jason! We can highly recommend them as being ultra reliable and organized, super responsible, and so caring to our animals. We have three cats (one is extremely skittish and terrified of male voices), chickens & ducks. I am always concerned about the nervous cat, but Liz & Jason were able to win her affection (this is so impressive) within a couple of days of our departure. They sent us detailed e-mails while we were away with updates (& photos!) about each set of animals and I felt so reassured and at ease on our holiday. I would usually return to finding this cat hiding somewhere in the house or on the property, but she was out and about, looking very happy and relaxed. I simply could not be happier with the care they provided. We also came home to a house that was cleaner than we left it and everything around in perfect order.

Liz and Jason are just the sort of sensible, kind and mature people you would want to look after your home and pet. The minute they arrived at my home I had every confidence Jasper and the house were in very safe hands. Jasper was born deaf and as a terrier is feisty and into everything. He also has lots of odd habits (!) like barking at shadows and traffic and needs a bit of extra attention. Liz and Jason took it all in thrum stride made notes (impressive) and gave me regular reports. Jasper had clearly been well looked after when I got back and Jason had managed to walk him on streets with traffic without him barking at all a real success! The house was immaculate with fresh flowers left as a gift an unnecessary and kind gesture. I just hope they plan on coming to London again soon! Sue Medder
